A lot is just an article that you have listed for sale. When you create a new
lot, it gets a unique lot ID number. Different kinds of parts will be listed
in your store as different lots by necessity, but theoretically (don't do
it) you could make a separate lot for every single part that you own. You'd
just get an extremely long list of the same kind of part, but they're different
"lots".

Yes, a black 2x4 brick (3001), for example, would be a different lot than a red
2x4 brick. Also we distinguish between New and Used, so you might have New black
2x4 bricks and Used black 2x4 bricks and these would be separate lots.
Now you might still want to have multiple lots with the same parts if there's
some distinguishing characteristic you want your buyers to know about. I do this
sometimes with Used parts, but also with Used minifigures, in cases where worn
minifigures are still in demand.

|
I don't think you need to clean every part (I've never heard of anyone
cleaning New parts) but if a part is visibly dirty - please clean it.
| | I have about 25
pounds of sealed bags (new parts), but once you open the bags, handle the parts,
and then put them into the appropriate storage place, they will get slightly
scratched/scuffed. Is this expected, or is there a solution for this?
|
You can minimize it but generally speaking there will be some light scratching
involved even with new parts - it happens at the factory, it happens during transport,
it happens at retail, etc.

Thank you for the detailed reply! I guess I have a LOT of bricks to wash!
I have built and run ecommerce sites since the 1990s, and each one uses different
terminology! I this case, I am guessing a GROUP would consist of any collection
the seller wants to make? Most recent, best sellers, etc. are common, or things
on sale, unusual items, etc.?
I noticed there are separate listings for parts with stickers applied, so those
would be additional LOTS, as would any pre-printed bricks? 3001 with a smile,
with a frown, with different texts, these are each a different lot?

BL store setup. Is each color of each part number a LOT? In other words, black
2x4 is a different lot than red 2x4? What is a group? Why would you want/need
to charge additional fees for a large group of unrelated parts? Any suggestions
for making this enormous task any easier? Do pulled sets sell any better than
just pieces? Are all pieces expected to be washed and cleaned? I have about 25
pounds of sealed bags (new parts), but once you open the bags, handle the parts,

Sorry for so many questions, but with this many parts, I need to get as much
right as possible the first time around!

| | I looked on the USPS link and saw those free shipping supplies, and have a couple

Yes.
| | Or could I get those boxes for free and ship cheaply with pirate ship? In other
words, once you get those free shipping boxes, what should you do to ensure the
cheapest shipping?
|
You can still use Pirate Ship to ship Priority Mail with those boxes and the
rates are much better than the retail rates. Depending on the box you might qualify
for the Priority Mail Cubic rate which - as far as I know - isn't even available
at retail.
You can't use the free boxes, then turn around and ship First Class. Even
if you turn the box inside out it still says "Priority Mail" on it.
